How much should our past matter to us? We can sulk in pain or celebrate. In either case, it is gone. Past is a mere experience.
We try to dive for numerous hours into our past for happy or sad moments. It depends on the current state of our mind. How much does it help? I don’t know.
We are here now, at this moment, breathing with the hope of a better future. Criticizing ourselves or hoping to rewrite it will only make us vulnerable. We can not be scared or over joyous about our past.
